Aspen is definitely as skiers mountain and like the town it's suited to the upper end of things. The blue runs are just an excuse to get to something a lot steeper and those who designed the trail map were colorblind when it comes to green runs. But that's what Butter Milk is for. If you're hard core and can't find something interesting at Aspen, you're either dead or you found it on Steeple Chase at Aspen Highland or the Hanging Valley Wall at Snowmass, which come curtsey of a single ticket. When you consider all 4 mountains there's tons of skiing to be had for anyones ability level.
And oh that night life. Yes it all comes at a premium and some might find it all a bit tacky but this is Aspen isn't it?
